• Attach the strap to the other side of the
camera being careful not to twist it.
• Check that the strap is firmly attached to
the camera.
• Attach the strap so that the “L UMIX ” LOGO
is on the outside.
• We recommend attaching the strap when
using the camera to prevent it from
dropping.
Attaching the Lens
Hood
In bright sunlight or backlight, the lens hood
will minimize lens flare and ghosting. The
lens hood cuts off excess lighting and
improves the picture quality.

• Close the flash.
1 Securely attach the hood adaptor
(supplied) so that it is all the way
into the lens barrel.
• Do not tighten the hood adaptor too
much.
2 Place the camera upside down,
align the mark on the lens hood
with the mark
on the camera
and then insert the lens hood.
• Make sure the screw is loose and then
attach the lens hood.
3 Tighten the screw.
• Do not tighten the screw too much.
